On the Brit of July a large reduction in the duties on im ported goods is to take effect. An nnwontedex- CCU of-foreign manufactures will then be•thrown intorour country.. SpeCismust be remitted abroad in payment. jA determined foreign competition, struggling as for life to gain posae.ssion of the mar kete of this country, Will not he oparing of the temporary sacrifices lo cripple, and eventually crash• par manufacturing and mining establish ments. If they succeed, labor must' seek other •• more crowded and leis profitable, employments, and agriculture bee the markets now afforded by the Wanes and manufactures. Therefore, in macs it/ extend our aid in averting :so greats calamity, a Public Meeting of the cid % janai ,, of2sclittylkill county, will be held at the an Monday e vening ,. the 1 kth inst., • 'at 7 o'clock P. M., for the purpose of organizing • Home League for the protection of • American Labor and Industry, and co-operating with similar anoilations, noel forming throughout the country. The meeting, will be addressed by several citi zens of this region. . . Duty on Foreign Coal. - Petitions will be in circulation throughout our region daring the following week, praying Con gress to lee - rails the present duty iiii - foieign Coal to 10 cents per bushel. This measure is desired, 'so thapoor mines may be kept open—our labor ers employed, and our busitiess protected. We - hardly know what the result of this application maybe, - but we earnestly hope it will be favora ble ;—should . it fail; our prospectli indeed wear a gloomy aspect. :Those persons who oppose a Coal Tariff, pretend to oppose it because, as they say,lthe importation of foreign Coal has a tenden cy to ebeckitiehigh prilee of the domestic article. 'This is a strange argument'and as fallacious as it Ii strange. • Let Congress place a high protective duty upon:British Coal, and the effect will be di .iectly the reverse. When capitalists are certain that.lheir outlays will be protected, they will in- Tint largely in the Witness; facilities for transport-, Ohm and mining will increase =- competition will grow, and as a natural consequence Coal must fall in priae. But on the other hand, what will be the r4sult should Congress still blindly deny this prote4tion I—a hea,Sy influx of British Coal will rush in—mir market& will be glutted ?with it ace price which will defy all competition on our • Rare; without a great reduction of the wages of la bor, and the event will be destruction to the Amer lein Coal trade. The busy regionse-which now give employment to thousands of incluXtrious cite lens will be 'leaned—our-prolific and 'valuable mines closed—atid the.nuinerous rail reads, which hltict been constructed at a great expense of both money and labor, will lie a useless ruin. And Men how will our foreign friends, whom we have protected at the -expense of our own desolation, wherl-home competition ceases to affect them? Ciiri these men who are 'so fearful of home mo nopolies give us any security against foreign mo. Dapoliess We are thus left completely in ,the power of an old hereditary enemf,jealous not on ly of our commerce, but of every species oftrade 'which promises prosperity to the country, end it . is folly to Bitter ourselves that they will not use • -the power to our prejudice. With the downfall of • the domestic trade, will come an increase in the price of the foreign article, and with our efforts chained, svhere can we Auok to far a supply in Can of war or other fortitous,circnmstances I Besides all this, thq' resent duty on. American . l ett2l in EnglMid is ' 'completely_ prohibitive, it be 'lna about 'seven dollars per ton—the duty upon British Coall in this country is one dollar and twenty alt it'll. pet. ton or 4ft cents per bushel. on the first - cot Jalrnext it will be reduced to-a bout forty cells per ton. It then becomes a question whether it, would not even be mote advi ea*, (t4ing into conTtidelation the immense de posits of Will fwep . 4sseis . , both bituminous and anthracite,) to prohibit lila foreign article entirely, saltier than allow it, w it thus does, to cripple the healthy action of individual enterprise in this country. David , ' Day. This day, so dear to the heart and memory of. every, patriotic Celt, was celebrated by the Welsh citizens of our region, last Tuesday, in a very —neat and creditable style. Their procession, width was preceded by two bands of music, num . bered about two litindred, all wearing appropriate ' scarfs and badges, having Marshals along the line, who conducted the march hr a very even and or- duly manner. The Society's banner, - which was - carried near the bead of . the procession , was quite beautiful—the devices Lind . mottos upon it being apt and Usteful. We are pleased to see that our, European Citizens do not, upon entering this country, leave behind them all love and respect fo l i home anti- Titles: We honor the kind and heart-warming EU customs of every people—and no one who has a free and liberal mind, can help being gratified at witnessing this devotion to old, tithe-sanctioned habits. There is something in the idea of a. Patron Saint, that is beautiful in the; extreme, and, the; legend-of St. David is calculated to create a feeling of reverence and respect, in the breast of every Welshman. After the ,precession, a meeting was held at the Welsh head quarters, on the Port Carbon mad, and the' whole celebration closed towards ‘evezen' g, amid the. greatest hittrity end good feel ing • next Llzaus.—A call for a meeting of our" , citizens !for the purpodi of organizing, such an In. !dilution in this county, will be found above.

The Cemetery is situated at the . f oo t of the 'lifiruntainrin the western - Part of our borough, completely surrounded with fine tall forest trees—well enclosed with a high strong. paling fence, and regularly' laid out in lots for families. ' The even well kept gravel walks, bor dered with rose bushes,• give a cheerful, happy appearance to the whole scene - -and relieves it, from that gloomy complexion which such places always wear. We are gratified to see that public feeling approves of this inethotlipreparingbUrial places ; the custom of attaching grave yards to' every church we think ti bad one, and we find the same impression is growing prevalent throughout the country. Every city now , has its Public Cemetery so attended to, that it robs grief of half its sadness to visit there the remains of those we loved. . There is too much terror always felt at the ap proach of death, and this feeling is much the more aggravated by the anticipation of a cheerless lin rial place. No matter how foolish these senia- tions arc, they do exist; and all ought to be done thin would have the effect of lightening them. • With/ sech views we recommend the Cemetery to all who think as we do in relation to this mat ter. We have been informed that alew lots Yet remain unsold; a better receptacle for 4man's frail tenement of clay" can be procured no where in our neighborhood. Tea LEGISLATE( ar....--Resumption House of Representatives has refused to concur with the Senate, in their amendments to this bill —it has therefore been referred to a Committee of Conferenee for settlement. Twenty-eight Commissioners have been ap pointed for the purpose of apportioning the state tax equally among the different counties. Mr r i Gamble, Chairman of the Committee of Way ' and Means, in the House of Representa tives, Harrisburg, reported a Bill to provide for the payment 'of the interest on the State Debt, by a regglar system of, taxation to be apportioned amongithe counties. The Bill provides that , the counties of this'-Commonwealth shall raise the sum of $1,500,000 which in addition to the $500,000 already pledged,are to go towards pay ing the interest, and the surplus, if any, shall be transferred to a sinking fund for the extinguish. merit of the-Suite Debt. 150 CITIZENS.

'ings of a Convention of Cotton Planters, which we give below, speaks a stronger language in fa- vor of a Tariff than any thing we can-say : , • ,_ • Monrxs, Feb. 8, 1842. Last week, a Convention was held by some of the principal planters in Alabama, to take into . consideration:— Ist. The cheapest manner that Cotton can :be raised, and how cheap it can be afforded, and landed on the wharf at Mobile. 2d. Whether it would be good policy to tax foreign manufactured cotton' gbods, thereby en couraging the northern manufacttirers. 81. How long inn they expect England to con sume the American cotton. In answer to the first part of the first question, there was no decision, for every planter had - a way of his own, and it depended-somewhat upon his lands, whether they were wood, isinglass, or marsh 1 ands. To the second plat of the first question, it was conceded that cotton could be af forded, and laid down in Mobile, at eight cents per pound. In answer to the second question— out of twenty-seven planters, twenty-one spoke in favor of taxing foreign manufactures, and five only opposed it. It was also conceded that the manufacturers of every article that can be produc ed in the United States must be' protected at all hazards. And in answer to the third ques tion, it was unanimously admitted that England would consume American cottons until the India cotton could be raised in sufficient quantities to supply her own mills, and no longer. The Chairman, a planter from Wetumpka, in a few remarks, observed, that the India posses sions, in which cotton could be raised, was twice as large as the United States, and contained over 70,000p00 of inhabttants. First—the province ot Bengal, containing 300,000 aquae miles, and u population of 50,000,000 of souls, and se =ven eighths of these could be hired for a picayune per day _ Next was the province of Madras, con taining 150,000 square miles, and 14,000,000 of inhabitants ; and the province of Bombay was not to be overlooked, for although it was small compared with the rest, it was still large, for it was as large as the State of New York, and con tained 6,000,000 inhabitants. - These he observ ed, were large enough without mentioning the numerous islands—such as Ceylon, Sumatra, &c. The importation of India cotton in England: in the year 1830, was about 75,000, in 1835, 130,- 000 bales, and in 1840, 234,516 bales—more: than trebled in ten years. A great many good and pertinent remarks were made upon the sub ject, and the meeting concluded by-resolving to hold a general state convention, during the spring, at Montgomery. - POTTEIVILLE Aka PHILADELPHIA RAIL Rosa STOCH:.Theitock. of this. company has adyin ced within the last few days from seventeen to twenty four dollars a share.

I see immi- , nent danger that more or fewer of the state banks will stop specie payments. The late measure of the Secretary, and the infatuation with which it seems tobe supported, tend directly and strongly to the result. Under pretence, then, of a design to return to a currency which shall be all specie, we are likely to have a currency in which there shall be no specie at all. We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper, mere paper, representing not gold nor silver; no sir, representing nothing but broken promise,s, bad faith, bankrupt corporations, cheated creditors,' and a ruined people.

A . ..wide expanse of wa ter separates you from the beloved country of your birth—from us and from the kindred whom you love, and who love you,•and pray for your happiness and prosperity, in the land of your a doption. We regard America with feelings of admiration; we do not look upon as. a strange land, nor ,upon her people as aliens froth our affections.— The ptwer of Steam has brought us nearer to gether; It will increase the intercourse between us, so that the character of the Trish people and the American people, must in future be acted up on by the feelings and dispositions of each. ‘ l l:he object of this Address is to call your at tentiott to slavery in America, that foul blot upon thane institutions and the fair fame of your • country. But for this one stain, Amer ' d indeed be a land worthy of your. adop kshe will never be the glorious country . . ..er free Constitution designed-her to be, so long as het soil is polluted by the footprint of a single Slave. Slavery is the most tremendous invasion of the natural inalienable rights of man, and of some of the noblest gifts of God, '.;life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." What a spectacle does A merica present to the people of the earth 1 A land of professing Christianzepublicans, uniting their energies for the oppression and degredation of three millions of- innocent human - beings, the children of our common rather, who suffer the most grievous wrongs and the utmostdegradation for no came of their ancestors or their own!— Slavery is a sin against God and man. All who are not for it, are agailYst it. None can be `neu tral. We entreat sr.dii to take the part of justice, 11 2 religion and libe y. • It is vain t American citizens attempt to , - conceal the; own and their country's degredation under this withering curse—America is cursed byslav‘ry !- We call upon you to unite w.th the / ab / olitionsts, and never cease your efforts until Perfect liberty is granted to everyone of her in "habitants, the black man as well as the white man. We are all children of the same gracious God, all equally entitled to .life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' We are told that you possess great powers, both moral and political, in America. We entreat you to exercise that power and that influence for the sake of humanity. You will not witness the horrors of slavery in all the States of America. Thirteen of them are tCOMMIMICATZO.] free and thirteen are slave States. But in all, the pro-slavery feeling, though rapidly decreasing, is still strong. Do not unite with it, on thcon traty, oppose it by . all the peaceable means in your power. Jain with the abolitionists every where ! They are the only consistent advocates of liberty. Tel every man that you don't under ',tend liberty for the white man and slavery for the black man; that you are for liberty for all, of every color, creed and country. The American citizen praudly points to the National Declaration of Independence, which de dares that, "all mankind are born free and equal," and are alike entitled to “life, liberty, and the pur suit of happiness." And him to parry out this noble declaration by obtaining freedom for the slave. Irishmen and Irishwomen! Treat the colored people as yOur equals—as brethren. By all your memories of Ireland continue, to love liberty— hate slavery—cling by the abolitionists ; and in America you will do honor to the name of Ire land. Signed by Datum. O'Corstr.r., .

We the Irish population of Pottsville and its vicinity, be lieving the said address to be a vile fabrication, and also that slavery is an evil entailed on this country by the iniquity of the British government.
